Session notes: 
Weasley is such a friendly guy that as soon as I got into my crouch position to photograph him, he wanted to come over for pets. He's a shameless pet-wanter!
When it came time to do his portrait, I finally got him to focus on a treat in my hand - every time I made a sound to get his attention, he wanted to come right to me and lean in for pets... it was pretty hilarious. 
His mom said that she used to take him to visit hospitals - he's so friendly he just loved the attention.
Moments after his 10-minute photo session he was wiped out and went to sleep on the living room floor.

Weasley was photographed on location at: A Candyland Gathering!

Weasley is a survivor of the 2010 Whistler sled dog cull.
